The Thing

I'll definitely be there as well . Probably most definitely unless it's persisting persistently and forecast to do so for the duration - when has that ever happened? ; :baa: But it was February. :baa:

Should we book hookups as it is May?

You can still see astronomically rewarding sights, even when its cloudy.  ;)

Just in case, I advised Blacklands that we will be coming down & that we will need about 9 hookups. Had a reply saying he has reserved space for us. Perhaps one of you had already done it.

I'll need a connection, is anyone willing to let me connect my extension lead to their 13A distribution panel?

Note that I wont be running any fan heaters, heated blankets or any other 'soft' astro/camping accessories so won't be drawing much current

Cheers

Thanks Fay. The Observing Officer should do that but I think Mick is still recovering from the Brain Transplant.
